Thinking it through, Johanna felt a sliver of calm. Jamie was a survivor; he wouldn’t charge blindly into an

obvious trap. Her job was just to stay alive.

Playing along, she said, “Alright. Let me talk to my brother.”

The man dialed a number. “Mr. Walton, your sister has something to tell you.”

He held the phone to Johanna’s ear.

Jamie’s voice was sharp on the other end. “Johanna? What’s happening? Who’s with you?”

“Jamie, I’ve been kidnapped!” she cried out. “He says you have thirty minutes to come, or he’ll-”

The call cut off before she could finish.

Johanna stared in stunned silence. “I wasn’t done! Why did you hang up?!”

The man let out a low, knowing chuckle. “Leaving it unfinished is more effective. What if he decides your… purity isn’t worth the risk? What if he doesn’t come at all?”

A cold tremor ran through her. He had a point. That was a very real possibility.

“Johanna,” he said, his tone almost pitying. “Your brother didn’t come.”

Her face went pale. “No. That’s a lie! Jamie would never abandon me! You’re lying to me! Or… or the half-hour isn’t up yet!”

He didn’t argue. Instead, he reached out and ripped the blindfold from her eyes.

Harsh light seared her vision. She flinched, blinking rapidly until the room came into focus,

Before her was a tall, broad-shouldered man in an impeccably tailored suit, his face hidden behind a grotesque bronze mask, his voice still distorted by a modulator. His every movement was fluid, controlled-this was no

common thug.

But she still had no idea who he was.

He held up his phone, showing her the call log. “See for yourself, Johanna. The thirty minutes are up.”

She glanced at the screen. The timestamp confirmed it. Still, she refused to believe it. “This is a trick! Jamie is already here, and you’re just not telling me!”

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
